Therapist Long Bio

Hi, my name is Ines Olivares.

I am a BACP Accredited Psychodynamic therapist with a background in Psychology and primary care interventions.

If you are experiencing anxiety symptoms and you are finding it hard to deal with life stressors; if you are feeling down and you are struggling to find motivation to do things; if you are in the middle of a conflict in a relationship and you don't know how to communicate your needs or what your needs are; if you've lost someone, or you are experiencing a transition in your life; if you notice there is a negative pattern going on, and you want to understand why and achieve a positive change. If you relate to any of the above statements, I am here to help.

There may be things in your unconscious mind that you are not fully aware of and are painful or keeping you stuck. I will help you look within, process and understand your emotional experience. We will aim to find what is keeping you stuck and we will dive deep in, to be able to gently move in a new direction.

I fundamentally use Psychodynamic therapy in my practice, which focuses on unpacking the conscious and unconscious mental processes that influence who we are in relation to ourselves, others, and the world. In other words, this type of therapy is aimed to help people develop self-awareness and understanding of the dynamic influence of our personal experiences on our behaviours, attitudes, and emotions in the present. By achieving this level understanding through reflection, people can become more attuned with their feelings, recognise how these affect their behaviour and relationships, and gain mastery of their life. I will invite you to feel heard and to take part in a healing process that will allow you to get insight into both your difficulties and your strengths.

My individual approach is based on what I believe is the core part of any therapy: building an accepting and trusting relationship between therapist and client in a calm and non judgemental safe space. I will encourage you to talk freely about whatever comes to mind, there is no right or wrong thing to say.

I have experience working with other theoretical models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Humanistic or Gestalt techniques. In this sense, I see the value in integrating concepts from different therapeutic models and being flexible to provide the care that each individual client might need.
